The Forthcoming State Fair.

Secretary Hoard OF the State Agriculture
al society is enthusiastic over the pros
poets OF the Forthcoming state fair. He
said:
The railroad companies have done nobly
by US, and have offered to bring the peo-
pie to the Minnesota state fair and return
them after the fair at the unprecedented
rate OF TX cents mile-exactiy fair one
way on same OF the roads, and CONSIDERS
bly, less than fare one way on the others.
Such rates for such a length OF time were
never given in this country before, and will
bring to the state fair a mighty mass OF
people, and ST. Paul and Minneapolis
must take good care OF them and see that
they are well entertained and that they
will come again.
1t is understood that equally favorable
rates have been conceded by the railroads
relative to the transportation OF freight
to and from the lair grounds. The Mani
toba and Northern Pacific management
have been especially liberal in rates which
will be officially announced soon. Inn
provements are being made on the grounds
that will be appreciated by exhibitors and
visitors. Amile or two of iron water pipe

piping and the three systems Of

large and fine exhibition building is to be
erected, also a large forage warehouse
Needed improvements in the seating of the
grand stand and in the roof and dome OF
the main building will be made. The shaft
ing is also to be extended through all parts
of machinery hall SO as to give power to
manufacturing exhibitors. The magnifi-
cent premiums offered in the stock de-
partment give guarantee that every barn

farm. orchard, garden and dairy. The
merchants and tradesmen will make q
tempting display for the zoe, 900 people
who will surely be present Regarding the
amusement programme Secretary Hoard
says the press cannot speak too enthusi-
astically. Mr.. Hoard says
The amusement programme will eclips
anything ever before offered at a state or
other fair. There will be prize drills by:
companies and battalions OF the national
guard. and grand state band tourna-
1nent, with fine prizes to the winners.
Messrs. Seibert' s and Dana's consolidated
band will be an everyday attraction.
There will be shooting contests by the gun
clubs and crack shots, athletic sports and
aeronantic exhibitions. The president Of
the United States and some OF the most
eloquent orators OF the land are expected
to be present. Then there are
the races. With the best track in the
west and the biggest purses ever offered at
q fair, and the fastest horses on the conti-
nents to contest for and win them, there
should be some rare sport.
Among the incidental attractions and
sido issues OF fair time will be the enter.
tainment furnished visitors by the twin
cities. There will be concerts in halls, and
parks, pyrotechnic displays, street illumi-
nations, excursions on river and lake,
panoramas, opera and ball games. At
tendants at the state fair will be we'll en-
tertained.

state OF circumstances arises aus to such
business which iustifies American roads
meeting such competition by correspond
ing reduction OF rates, without regard to
the fact that in SO doing the rat ties between
terminals may be reduced below the rates
to and from intermediate places, which are
otherwise reasonable and just. The
fact that American roads are
left free to meet such competition is as
surance that no war on rates will be waged
by Canadian roads. The case in which
competition between American roads will
permit a deviation from the long and
short haul clause are very few; but one
such is that OF the railroad extending from
Plttsburg. Pa, parallel to the Pennsyl-
vania road as far as Youngstown, thence
to Ashtabula, Ohio, where, through con-
nection with the Lake Shore, it gives to the
people OF Pittsburg and Youngstown COM
petition with the Pennsylvania road in
their business to and from New York and
New England. This r. ute is somewhat
roundabout, but if the long
and short haul clause is construed
strictly would destroy competition from
Pittsburg. Other roads are similarly sit.
uated, like certain north and south roads,
such as that from Cineinatti to Toledo
and that from New Albany to Chicago,
when forming links in east-bound traffic.
They make a smaller charge for a longer
haul because their direction cOmpels it.
The commission reserves freedom to de-
eide without prejudice applications from
these roads.
WHAT WILL BE DONE.
The commissioners say they were unani-
nous in the opinion and conclude it as
follows: 3so
The order for temporary relief made in
favor OF petitioners will be allowed
to remain in force until the
until the day originally limited for it's ex-
piration. The other petitions for relief
under the fourth section numbered fifty.
five. Temporary orders made in some Of
these petitions will i'll like manner be per-
nlitted to remain in force until the expira-
ton Of the time limited in each. No
further orders will be made upon any petit
tions, for, although two or three OF the
cases may not by facts recited in applica-
tions for relief be brought strictly within
the principles above discussed, yet they all
present what are claimed to be digerent
circumstances and conditions adequate to
authorize exceptions to the general rule;
and if petitioners are persuaded the fact
is as they represent they should act &C
cordingly.

A STRONG TORNADO,
1t Visits Grand Forks and Vicinity, Attended by
Death and Destruction.

There was a tremendous wind and rain
storm, in the vicinity Of Grand Forks,
Oak, on the afternoon OF the 10th inst
AT $40 the storm had reached it's height,
the wind blowing at the rate OF about
seventy miles an hour.
The scene on the streets was awfulin the
extreme; the noise occasioned by buildings
going before the storm, the crash OF break
ing glass, the sight OF huge and heavy roofs
picked up bodily from he buildings and
lodging in the center OF the streets,
teams breaking from their fastenings
on the streets and running wildly hither
and thither to get out Of the bowling storm
all went to add to the horror OF the mo-
ment. The storm ragged for half-hour,
and the wind and rain never relaxing for a
second. It was not a cyclone, though so.
called by the newspapers, but simply a
tornado or nigh wind. 1t did not take
long to ascertain the casualties.
Cora Starbird was Instantly killed by
being struck on the temple bya falling tim

ruins and more or less injured. One of
them, Charles Meinstrum, having his head

he cannot recover, several of the others
had close calls for their lives, but escaped
without serious injuries.

The President Withdraws His Instructions as to
the Return Of the Confederate Banners-How
the MatterOriginated, etc.
The following is the text OF q letter from
the President, received by the secretary of
war late respecting the return to various
states cf flags captured during the late
war:
Executive Mansion, Washington, D. c.,
June 16.-To the Secretary OF War: I
have to day considered with more care
than when thesubject was orally presented
to me, the action Of your depart
ment directing letters to be addressed to
the governors of all the states Offering to
RETURN if desired, to the loyal states, the
Union flags captured in the war of the re-
bellion by the confederate forces, and att
erwards recovered by the governments
flags ptured by the union forces, all of
boxes and slowed in the cellar and attic Of
the war department.. I am of the opinion
that the return OF these flags in the man
ner thus contemplated is not authorized
by existing law ner justified as an execu-
tive act.
Irequest, therefore, that no further steps
be taken in the matter except to examine
and inventory Of these flags and adopt
proper measures for their preservation.
Any direction for the final disposition
OF them should originate with congress.
Yours truly,
GROVER CLEVELAND.
An intimate friend of the executive this
evening, said that the president sanctioned
the return Of flags without giving the
subject serious consideration and

Establishments have been built up. The
fact that long haul traffic will only bear
certain rates is no reason for carrying it
for less than cost at the expense OF other
traffic.
CONSIDERED IN DETAIL. S2y
Considering the cases governed by the
fifth section in the above abstract the COM
mission takes up the first, competitions with
carriers by water, and says:
1t was fairly shown before US that in.
stances exist, and many will be found,
along the routes of the petitioners lines in
Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana, three compet-
ing waterways force down railroad rates
below what it is possible to make them at
non-competitive points and still maintain
the roads with success or efficiency The
only question is whether competition is
kept within proper bounds. Low rates are
q necessity OF the situation, and if rail.
roads compete with water transportation,
either on ocean or nayigable rivers: they
have no choice but to accept such rates.
To compel the roads to observe strictly
the general rule laid down by the fourth
section would necessitate their abandon
ment of some classes OF business in
which their competition with wa
ter transportation is now of pnblic
Importance. The railroads must either
be allowed 20 compete with vessel owners
and make low charges for that purpose, or
they must leave vessel owners in the pos
session OF business without the check upon
charges which competition would afford. y
The commission is OF the opinion that con-
gress had these circumstances i'll view in
passing the law. Competition with Cana
dian roads may, tits believed, presenta case
OF dissimilar circumstances and condition.
Whenever such roads compete with roads
in the United States for business between
one part OF the country and another, q

Recruiting the PrOhibitiOnists.
Thic10O Mems.


Close upon the heels of the Gambrell
murder comes the report of another at
tempt to meet the prohibition warfare of
tongue and pen with physical violence
and bloodshed. On Thursday night
last, while the Rev. T. j. Duncan was
delivering a prohibition lecture in a
church at Springfield, Tenn, the lect-
ure was interrupted by two aeafening
explosions. Every pane of glass in
the building was shattered, and exam
nation showed the ground in the rear
of the church torn up for some dis
lance. SIT is believed that dynamite
cartridges were used, with the inten-
ton of either frightening or killing Mr..
Duncan" This is quite Ike the old
times when it was considered to be the
correct thing to shoot down the man
whose speech was unpalatable or argu
ment unanswerable. In those days,
however, this code prevailed mainly
south of Mason and DixOn's line, and
was reserved for the Yankee abOli-
tionists. This latest essay makes dis
honors easy between the two sections,
Haddock and Northrup in Iowa and
Ohio, and Gambrell and Duncan in
Mississippi and Tennessee. Slavery
was not more surely doomed by the
shot fired against Sumter than is the
reign of whiskey politics by this re-
sort to assassination. Sioux City and
Haverhill, Jackson and Springfield
will prove names to conjure with in
swelling the ranks of the Prohibitions
lists at the polls. If cowardly, brutal
murder is the last defense of the whis-
ky trade, the sentiment of the nation
demands that the business be closed
out or put under proper control.

A BURNING THEATER
Many Perish I'm the Flames of the Opera
Comique at Paris.

The Opera COmique at Paris was
burned Wednesday, May 25, and many
persons lost their lives. The fire broke
out during the performance. The
theater was crowded, and at the first
alarm a rush was made for the exits.
The fire spread with great rapidity
and many persons sprang from the
windows to the ground. Fourteen
were instantly killed by the fall and 43
were picked up more or less injured,
some of them fatally and many Sc
riOusly. Large numbers of persons
were crushed to death in the galleries
and on the stair way. Many occupy
ing seats near the stage were caught
by the fire and burned to death.
The fire broke out during the first
act of the opera "MignOn." One of the
wings caught fire from a gas jet and
the entire stage was Immediately en-
velOped in flames. The fire soon spread
to the whole house. All the actors
ran out in their stage costumes. The
audience got out easily. but the gas
was turned off before all had left the
building, and some were left in the
upper tiers. The roof soon fell in.
With the exception of Mine Seller,
who persisted in the flames, all the act
ors escaped, though several of the
supernumeraries were injured severely.
An artificial fire apparatus, which
had been placed i'll position in readi
ness for the burning of the palace in
the second act rolled down from its
place near the roof and exploded be-
low. Women half clad and carrying
their costumes fled from the stage
screaming. Some of the supers fled
with nothing on but tights. The flames
spread with such rapidity that in Is
minutes the stage was vast furnace.
Several actors escaped by climbing to
the roof on the side of the Rue Mari
vanta, where they were rescued by fire
escapes. M. Tasquin implored the au
dience to remain seated until the exits
were opened, which they did. If they
had made a rush for the doors the loss
of life would have been terrible. The
scene outside was one of the widest
excitement. Flames shot out of every
window, forcing the crowd into the
narrow streets where the crush was
terrific. A fgurante says there were
$50 persons on the stage when the fire
broke out. She heard the glass falling
like hailstorm but told the other girls
not to mind it; but while she was speak
ing a column of flame burst through
the wings with II roar, and all rushed
pell-mell from the stage.

Nothing is said for or against Mormon

that the religion of his fathers does not

the MOrmons are ignorant and often
unable to read or write, these teachers

Fishing on a FOggy Morning.

Casting a meditative glance toward
where the sun had gone down, the old
rounder began: "Well, gentlemen,
had little experience of my own,
once. went down the ChattahOochee
river, in Decatur county, to visit an
old friend. He had often told me OF
anxious to try it. 1t was late in the
evening when l got there, and l re-
tired early, so as to be ready for the
fun next day. 1 asked how far it was
to the creek, and they told me it was
only few hundred yards, just beyond
the fence.
"By light, next morning, | was up,
and secured a good tackle and few
sawyers. | started off toward the
creek. The fog was so heavy, for it
was woods burning time, that | could
not see any distance ahead of me, and
so L CROPPED my way as best [ could
across the little clearing. Reaching
the fence L climbed over, and picking
my way carefully, for L did not want
to fall in the creek, [ proceeded slowly
down the slope until L thought l must
be near the waters edge. Batting my
hook threw it forward, and just about
time enough for it to strike the water
felt pull, and with Il jerk L brought
in fine fellow. For ten minutes |
stood there and pulled them in, and
then, fearing that l would spoil one
days sport, l regretfully retired, and
by accident | reached the house through
the fog.
CATER breakfast the fog lifted and
we got ready for days enjoyment.
You may imagine my surprise, when
on going to the place where | had
caught so many early in the morning,
l found that it was a full hundred
yards from the bank of the creek.
The truth is, had not touched the
water, but just stood there and caught
them out of the fog Atlanta COnsti
